RED WINGS by WINIFRED VIRGINIA JACKSON

First Line: I HEAR THE SHADOWS MOVING AMONG OLD TREES
Last Line: IN TRUST.
Subject(s): DEATH; GHOSTS; SUPERNATURAL; DEAD, THE;
I hear the shadows moving among old trees;
I see cold, white mists face new ecstasies;
@3And I, a thing of tears
And fears@1.

I hear the dead feet travel in a row;
I see the torn leaves falling where they go;
@3And I, a sleeping stone
Age blown@1.

I hear the red winds of the west arise;
I see strange, wide and watchful, waiting eyes;
@3And I, a thing of dust
In trust.@1
